How Property Owners’ Failures Lead to Slip and Fall Accidents

Arkansas has robust premises liability law that imposes great responsibility on property owners. In short, these laws require property owners to act reasonably, and failure to do so qualifies as negligence.

Basis steps property owners must take to reduce the likelihood of slip and fall accidents include:

Installing Anti-Slip Flooring

Some examples of flooring issues that increase the risk of slip and falls include:

• Torn carpet, which can cause tripping or slipping if the carpet moves underneath the fall victim
• Tile and other surfaces that can become slick when wet
• Uneven walking surfaces
• Broken or uneven stairs

Property owners must foresee potential slipping hazards, and installing flooring materials that pose a minimal risk of slipping is a necessary step. Repairing damaged flooring and stairs is also a basic responsibility.

Immediately Addressing Slipping Hazards

For most, slipping hazards will inevitably arise. From water being tracked indoors during a rainy day to condensation falling from pipes above, there are many ways for slipping hazards to emerge. Though property owners cannot avoid slipping hazards altogether, they can:

• Clean up spills and other moisture-related slipping hazards right away
• Put an obvious and effective barrier around any slipping hazards that cannot be immediately removed or fixed
• Call repair professionals, including flooring professionals, immediately when a slipping hazard emerges that the property owner cannot fix on their own

Property owners who are proactive and use good judgment will prevent the vast majority of potential slip and fall accidents. However, many property owners in Fort Smith fail to use good judgment.

Installing Adequate Lighting

Seeing hazards can be the key to avoiding them. Therefore, every property in Fort Smith must have adequate lighting.

Monitoring the Property Regularly

Property owners and their employees must routinely monitor the property to identify, remove, fix, or block off slipping hazards. Monitoring can include:

• Walking the property as the property owner
• Training employees to walk the property
• Responding immediately to patrons who report slipping hazards
• Installing video cameras and other remote monitoring systems

Those responsible for a property are not OK simply waiting for slipping hazards to come to their attention. They must proactively seek potential hazards and address them immediately. Failure to do so qualifies as negligence and increases the risk of slip and falls.

Warning Visitors of Slipping Hazards

If there are any slipping hazards that the property owner cannot immediately fix or remove, they should warn visitors of the hazard. Failure to warn someone increases the likelihood that they will encounter and slip on the hazard.

We Will Demand Full Compensation for the Cost of Your Slip and Fall

Medical authorities note that fall-related injuries are often costly – and also preventable. When a negligent property owner fails to prevent your preventable slip and fall accident and injury, they must pay fairly for the cost of that fall.

Some of the damages we will seek compensation for are:

Medical Expenses

Fractures are among the injuries associated with falls, and brain injuries are another injury we frequently see in our clients. Falls can lead to a long, costly treatment and recovery regimen that may include:

• Ambulance transport
• Emergency department care
• Surgery
• Hospital services
• Medical imaging
• Rehabilitation

Healthcare is notoriously expensive, including in Fort Smith. We will demand that liable parties cover the entire cost of your healthcare, as you should not be responsible for medical bills resulting from someone else’s negligence.

Pain and Suffering

Anyone who suffers injuries faces pain and suffering, which can include:

• Physical pain
• Emotional anguish
• Psychological distress
• Emotional anguish
• Lost quality of life
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Sleep loss

Pain and suffering does not have an obvious financial cost. Our attorneys can calculate the value of these damages accurately, and we will include that cost in our settlement demands.

Professional Damages

Injuries often lead to professional damages, including:

• Lost income
• Diminished earning power
• Lost bonuses
• Lost promotions
• Lost benefits (which may happen if you must leave your job or are fired because of your injuries)

We will account for all fall-related damages, including those that affect your professional life.

The Cost of Disabling Injuries

We know that disabling injuries tend to cause additional harm, including financial expenses. Our attorneys will account for any disabling injuries you have suffered, which may cause:

• Long-term healthcare costs
• Medical equipment
• Long-term rehabilitation expenses
• Required changes to the residence, like handrails and ramps
• Required purchase of a new, disability-friendly vehicle
• Substantial pain and suffering

The effects of permanent change can be difficult, and you may lose physical abilities, face personality changes, and endure other substantial problems due to a disability. Your Fort Smith slip and fall accident lawyer from our team will account for any damages specific to disabling injuries.

A Wrongful Death

Falls are the second-leading cause of unintentional death worldwide. Our firm understands the heartache and other harm that results from wrongful deaths, as we have represented many clients gripped with unexpected loss.

If you have lost a loved one, our attorneys will seek compensation that reflects:

• Grief and other forms of pain and suffering, which can be truly debilitating when you lose a loved one
• Loss of the decedent’s spousal companionship and other forms of lost consortium
• Loss of the decedent’s financial support
• Loss of the decedent’s household services
• Funeral and burial expenses

Trust our firm to handle your case in a compassionate, results-oriented manner, whether you suffered an injury or are grieving a loved one’s wrongful death.

What Our Fort Smith Slip and Fall Accident Lawyer Will Do for You

Our lawyers work day in and day out on insurance claims and lawsuits. Allow us to leverage our habits, experience, and legal training as we:

• Handle all case-related communications: We lead communications for several reasons. We will ensure no liable party can badger you or convince you to accept a lowball settlement. We will also apply pressure on liable parties to move forward with the claims or legal process urgently.
• Secure evidence of negligence: We will document the negligence that led to your slip and fall. Witness accounts, video, and expert testimony may be types of evidence that lead to the settlement or verdict you deserve.
• Document your damages: Your attorney will obtain all medical records, income statements, invoices, diagnoses, and other documentation of your damages.
• Calculate your case value: Our team will determine an evidence-based case value. This calculation will account for both your current and future damages.
• Negotiate a fair settlement: We will demand that liable parties cover the entire cost of your fall, and we will work to convince them using evidence of negligence and documentation of your damages.
